Putting not always elementary for watson

The term "ageless" has been applied to Tom Watson, who almost won a sixth British Open at Turnberry at age 59 ... but age has now and then crept into his putting stroke. Friday, the 62-year-old missed the hole entirely on an 18-inch par putt at the 17th hole to fall outside the cut line. But he rammed in a 30-footer at the 18th to save himself, earning nearly as big a roar as Tiger Woods had in the previous group, when he holed it from the bunker for birdie. Watson made it while his playing partners, former world No. 1 Martin Kaymer (seven over) and Japanese sensation Ryo Ishikawa (six over) missed.
